I have now a tucson and I can tell you with all the stupid an superfluous buttons everywhere that I need te press each time I start the car it is definitely not adding tot the security on the road.
So, you’re saying that a touchscreen where you have actively look at because you don’t have any haptic feedback is saver on the roads?
If you can achieve the same thing with one single tap instead of going through what the OP has to, then yes.
And depending on how many buttons there are, chances are you have to look at the buttons too.
Are you guys playing the pain while driving? The only but I actually used is the hazard light button. The rest are all around the steering wheel.
There you go, you admit that apart from the hazard light button the rest is unnecessary
Nah, heating, air conditioning, seat venting. I use all of that. But most of the time not. It I like having buttons. I mean, it’s easier if I have to switch menus all the time. You and me both know that touchscreen only is stupid. It sounds nice on paper but then you need to turn on your windshield wipers and chaos unfolds. You love Tesler and that’s okay but boy… why the fuck are we arguing about this. It’s not like we gonna change each other’s opinions and buying a new car. You like touchscreens and I like buttons. Let’s agree on that.
Most VW cars have plenty of buttons and levers on the steering wheel. It's really not that bad. Except for the fuckup with the touch/swipe buttons on the steering wheel in some cars, lol. I personally like a good mixture of well placed and functional buttons and a touchscreen. The former for primary and secondary features that are frequently used while driving, and the latter for scrolling through settings/playlists and navigation.
What is Tesler? Well whatever it is, at least your insinuation is rather off, why would I have a Hyundai now 🙄
Trump pronounced Tesla as Tesler.
Whatever man, you win.
